(Don Manley's clue in that list is pretty audacious.)

Thanks!

It was great to see Colin Dexter in that Vimeo documentary you recently shared. I‘d quoted him before but didn’t really know anything about him.

(Also a great watch: vimeo.com/129804959)

Great page.

[How could I fix the following while maintaining the image?

You glimpse trousers’ trademarked fruit (4) - hidden word clue]

Subtractive container clue:

This minor when put in bed is happy (4)

LESS [BlessED]

A nice (Orwellian) combo:

Returning to this great book, and enjoying the timelessness of a wonderful pastime. 📖☕️✏️

Yes, thank you. I like when I see accent-y clues like the Sean Connery ones

Ah, thanks. I run homophones through Collins because I don't talk so good
